The smells of home cooked Italian foods drifted out of the classroom today as a special meal was served to the students for lunch. Women from ACIM (read, salad, and torrone candy. In addition to the great lunch, the group shared about their organizations work, their personal family’s history of immigration to this country and Italian culture. The women were equally interested in learning more about each student and the school. Everyone was well-fed and the conversation extended well beyond lunch. Special thanks to Kathy Rescigno and Jean Gallo for their efforts to build a relationship between TCS and ACIM, to those who prepared the food at the home of Susan Gallerizzo: Yvonne Serio, Francesca Ehmann, Joanne Mangione, Lea Gucciardi and Fran Barrow, and the servers; Margaret Cuomo, Lea Gucciardi, Kathy Mangione, Margurita Mazza-Hammond and Susan Gallerizzo. Grazie mille!
